Texas Ada F311 sold for $14,000 to Miamba Pastoral Texas Ada F257 sold for $14,000 to Palgrove Charolais

The sale averaged $6,405 topping at $14,000 three times. All three top priced bulls were sired by Te Mania Ada and were described as “powerhouse” sires that would inject performance, phenotype, structure, muscling and temperament into any herd. Texas Ada F257, Texas Ada F383 and Texas Ada F311 were purchased by the Bonfield family, Palgrove, Stanthorpe QLD, Muriel Capel, Barraba NSW and Miamba Pastoral, Alpha QLD respectively.

Principal Ben Mayne was very happy with the result particularly with such a strong commercial presence.“We were very proud of this year’s line-up of bulls, many onlookers commented on how even they were from the start to the end of the sale. The continual support of our repeat clients, and new clients coming on board shows their confidence in our breeding program of producing strong, heavily built, thick, structurally sound Angus bulls that come from over seven decades of breeding. These bulls are naturally heavy without the use of the feed bucket, and have a good balance of fertility, weight for age performance and quality carcase traits that will add length.” Ben said.

“The bulls this year averaged 820kgs across the board (top weight of 1006kgs) after grazing purely on oat crops. The commercial focus of the breeding operation is paying dividends for our clients particularly with our branded commercial sale held each year.” Ben reported.
